FAQs

Are the Nike Shox Ride 2 Premium true to size?

Generally, Nike Shox Ride 2 models are considered true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size, but trying them on for the best fit.

Can I use these shoes for running?

While the Shox Ride 2 Premium features advanced cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes that offer specific support and flexibility for athletic performance would be more suitable.

How do I clean the distressed leather on my Shox Ride 2?

For the distressed leather, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of specialized leather cleaner. Gently wipe the surface and then buff dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can alter the distressed finish. Always test cleaning products on a small, inconspicuous area first.

What is Shox technology?

Shox technology, pioneered by Nike, uses a system of responsive columns in the heel to provide superior cushioning and energy return. It's designed to deliver an 'unmatched bounce' and unique impact absorption, making for a distinctive ride.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the Nike Shox Ride 2 Premium is designed for everyday wear. Its combination of comfortable cushioning and durable construction makes it an excellent choice for daily activities, casual outings, and adding a distinct style to your wardrobe.

What is the material composition of the upper?

The upper is crafted from a blend of breathable mesh and distressed leather, providing both ventilation and a durable, textured aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or due to trapped moisture. Ensure the shoes are thoroughly dry. You can also try applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction.

Distressed leather appears scuffed or discolored

The 'distressed' finish is part of the shoe's intended aesthetic. Minor scuffs can be gently rubbed with a soft, dry cloth. For more noticeable marks or to re-condition, use a leather conditioner specifically designed for distressed or premium leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. If they are new, allow for a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider using thinner socks or consulting a footwear specialist for advice on fit.

Lack of traction on certain surfaces

Clean the rubber outsoles thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing grip. Inspect the tread for excessive wear; if the tread is significantly worn, traction will be reduced.

Foul odor from shoes

Allow shoes to air out regularly after wear. Remove insoles and let them dry separately. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
